Playing with Daddy.
Playing with Mommy.
Simon loves sharing his food and drinks. Even with his toys.
Pock-ets?
Pockets!!
Friendly encounter with Santa. Simon loves the little blue truck he received.
Throwing his first snowball.
Meeting his first black ice.
Laughing at his first meeting with black ice while holding his blue truck from Santa.
Letting Simon do all the work for us!
(Actually, it was in impromptu visit to Daddy outside [thus being wrapped in Momma's vest], in which Simon decided he really wanted to shovel, too.)
Cardinals like to land in the trees outside our front windows.
Simon plucked the Christmas bird from the tree and kissed him...
... and Daddy gave the cardinal a kiss, too.
Here is the spread on Christmas Eve. Mmmmmm!
Simon loved the Christmas ham!
He threw the potatoes and corn pudding, however, onto his splat mat.
Opening some gifts on Christmas Eve.
Bubble Bath and a Rubber Duckie!
Where did he get that crooked grin?
Talking to Shaye-Shaye on Christmas morning.
Simon likes to say "Oooh" when he opens his presents...
Ooooh...? Oooooooooooooooh!
Oooooooooooh!
Oooh! Oooooh! Ooooooooh!
... and FUN!
Simon refused to go sledding without his black Porsche (right hand) and tractor (left hand).
He held onto them the whole time.
Coming in from the cold, thus the red cheeks.
Monkeys and Towers...does it get any funner than that?
Simon is orchestrating the construction of his new tower.
Maniacal Laughter
Tower Toppling Toddlers are Too Much Fun!

Let's put those presents to good use!
Simon, do you like bubble baths?
More presents! Pajamas and a garbage truck.

Simon, Gifts, and Christmas
(Listen for the "Oooh" at the end.)
This toy is both thought-provoking....
... and FUN!

So much fun!!! We miss you guys!
ReplyDeleteI am loving the pictures! What is the possibility of meeting somewhere in Indiana before you guys move? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI just showed Ava these pictures and she said, "Merry Christmas, Simon!" She also said she wants to play with Simon and his toys and play hide and seek with him. I'm envious of your Christmas dinner! I just had Saltines :(
ReplyDeleteJen, we miss you guys, too! And Erin, it would be so fun to meet up before we leave.
ReplyDeleteWeegs, I'm glad Ava liked the pictures. I like how she and Simon are buddies. Too bad about the Saltines. :( Not even any Nutella to go with those Saltines? :) Love ya!
